2D Symbologies
Symbology settings for 2D barcodes work the same as those for 1D. Take note that some symbologies such as EAN have 1D and 2D counterparts and settings for one will not effect the other.
Data Options
Data Options deals with the output from the scanner that applies to the data of all scans - regardless of symbology - or even magnetic stripe data. Data option settings are as follows:
•Prefix
•Suffix
•Replace suffix with carriage return
•Transmit function code
Prefix
Double click on Prefix to setup a special string that will be output before every scan. This can be any alphanumeric string or a special character (see Suffix below). For alphanumeric strings simply type the characters into the text field. Special characters like Tab use brackets surround- ing a letter to indicate what the prefix should be. For example a Tab would be <t> (see picture for chart of special characters that appears on screen while entering prefix).
Suffix
Suffix is set up exactly like prefix, but follows immediately after the scanned data. Please note that suffix comes before Terminator, which is the very last character output (see Scanning Options below to set Terminator).
Key in the special character stated in the Set Data window.
For instance, enter “<r>” (no quotes) to include a carriage return, or “<t>” (no quotes) to include a tab before and/or after the bar code data. Enter text or numbers directly if you want the bar code preceded and/or followed by specific numbers or text.
Tap OK when finished.
